76 , WAREHOUSES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. This establishment is owned and constructed by the city of Genoa. A printed pamphlet containing the regulations and tariff, and a smaller one, in English, containing the regulations for the stationing of vessels in the docks, are transmitted herewith. 0 SERVICES RENDERED. The specialty of the institution is the storage of salted meats and fish, cheese, butter, canned goods, and other preserved alimentary products, which articles are excluded in general from the warehouses already described. It receives also much wine, in bottles only, and spirits in all forms. It has three departments, the largest of which is a free-deposit section; another is a custom-house section. This second free-deposit section is similar in plan to the large Deposito Franco, already described, but is under different management and rules. To be established it had to receive the consent of the chamber of commerce, which authorized in it the storage only of certain mer chandise. Private depositories and offices can bo conveniently rented by the year. The charges are rather minutely classified in seventeen main sections. The full tariff is given in pamphlet transmitted.® A large, refrigerating plant under Italian management, the “ Magazzini Frigoriferi Genovesi,” is also within the precincts. This is a new enterprise here, and is attracting much interest and favorable comment. Indirectly Americans use these warehouses to a large extent, that is to say, all the American lard and bacon imported into Genoa in great quantities is received in these warehouses. A great quantity of American staves also arrives. An average of two months is the length of time goods remain stored, though of course many pass through almost at once. All nationalities are treated alike, except so far as the “ most favored nation ” clause interferes. For instance, French and Span ish salted fish are admitted to the free deposit section, while the Portuguese product, which does not enjoy the benefit of the clause, is excluded. The establishment is equipped with numerous electric and hand- power cranes and with eight or more electric-power lifts. The trans port of goods is done by a special porterage company. The cost might average about 40 cents per ton, from vessel lying in the dock to the warehouses. All the operations taking place here are subject to the regulations of the national and city customs departments. William II. Bishop, Consul. Genoa, Italy, July 9,190If. LEGHORN. (From United States Consul Smith, Leghorn, Italy.) In the custom-house, owned and conducted by the State, two large rooms, with a floor space of about 900 square yards, are set aside for a On file in the Bureau of Statistics, Department of Commerce and Labor.
